A man accused of shooting a Durham convenience store clerk to death went before a judge in Granville County Monday.

Timothy Moore, 31, was arrested over the weekend when a state trooper recognized him.

Officials say while on patrol around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, the trooper pulled over a Ford vehicle after it ran a stop light in Butner. The car, which was reported stolen out of Greensboro, slowed at first but then sped off.

After a short chase, officials say the vehicle crashed at the intersection on Veasay Road and Old Oxford Highway and the driver fled on foot.

Law enforcement began an extensive search but it was eventually called off. Two troopers remained in the area for a short time before heading back towards Durham.

That's when officials say the troopers saw the driver walking along Old Oxford Highway. He was arrested without further incident.

The driver originally provided a false name, but was later identified as Moore. He was wanted for the murder of 57-year-old Nafez Jalal in Durham on April 27.
